y=48

Explanation:

To solve for y, you can cross-multiply:

(3)/(16)=(9)/(y)

Multiply the 3 and the y, and put the product on one side of the equal sign, and then multiply the 9 and 16 and put the product on the other side; giving you:

3y=144

Now divide both sides by 3 to isolate y, giving you:

y=48
